Ever notice how when you're dancing or when you're giving an energetic musical performance that you don't feel any pain while you're doing it? But the moment that you stop, you get this insane pain, and sometimes you don't even know where it came from? The secret to conquering your financial pain? Never stop dancing!! My business is built upon getting more pain now to prevent further future pain—to save you from my scars. The key? I gamify the scary, painful parts. I make the necessary action into a game---turning client acquisition into my new "dance". For example, I set a goal to do 100 DMs and/or emails per day for client acquisition. Every morning, I put a paper out, and I put a tick mark on it for every dm/ reach out that I do. If I don't hit my goal before I go to bed, I just try to beat that number the next day. I don't feel the pain because I keep moving. I keep "dancing." So, I got my first TV appearance, which was terrifying because I'm an introvert and a writer. But I'm coming out of my shell and doing more. I'm getting more pain: getting on more shows and, right now most importantly, doing the "dance" of DMing more people and emailing more potential clients one-on-one. It’s very painful getting rejected, getting ignored, all that stuff. But if I'm going to teach you that, I have to do it and live it myself. Because eventually, there are going to be more people who are going to see my value—value that has been recognized by people just like Gary Vaynerchuk Evan Carmichael, Dr. John Demartini , Travis Chappell and others featured in my Minute with a Millionaire series. You can see how they operate and embrace their own pain by checking out my full-length episodes in that playlist.

Because of the money that’s coming in, I'm going to be even more visible, and I'm going to teach you even more and reach even more people who need the message:

I don't really want to do this because I'm not 100% sure I care about a star. I mean, I'm a competitive person, so I'm always going to strive for the star in life, but for my business, I try really hard to focus only on what truly matters - getting amazing results for my students/clients/members. Having said that, we are soooooo close to getting a star (top 30 in your category), that it would kind of be a shame to not do a final push for the top!!! So, if you are so inclined, please share a comment below and let's see if we can pull together as a team. Please finish the following sentence: If I had 100 additional members in my community, I would..... Or write about anything else you feel inspired to share, and then comment on someone else's comment IN THIS THREAD. Let's do this as an experiment for us all, and see what has the biggest effect on rankings! And if you're new here, we don't normally operate like this - it truly is an authentic place for collaboration and meaningful connections... 😉

When you understand your emotions, life begins to expand in ways that reach far beyond your inner world. You build confidence, and with confidence comes the courage to take bigger steps, new roles, bold ideas, and ventures that bring greater income and fulfillment. You strengthen your relationships, creating trust and connection that open doors and build collaboration. You sharpen your clarity, making better decisions with calm focus instead of impulse. You develop resilience, which turns challenges into lessons and momentum. You deepen your empathy, which transforms how people respond to you, they listen, respect, and support your vision. Through emotional intelligence, you create a ripple effect: Better choices lead to better work. Better work leads to better opportunities. Better opportunities lead to a better life.
